Starobinsky model in rainbow gravity
Abstract
In this paper, we study the Starobinsky model of inflation in the context of gravity's rainbow theory. We propose that gravity rainbow functions can be written in the power-law form of the Hubble parameter. We present a detailed derivation of the spectral index of curvature perturbation and the tensor-to-scalar ratio and compare the predictions of our models with Planck 2015 data. We discover that in order to be consistent with Planck data up to 2σ C.L., the viable values of Nk e-folds would satisfy 42k87 and the rainbow parameter λ is nicely constrained to be λ 6.0.
